Report From the Federation of European Publishers: “Consequences of the COVID-19 Crisis on the Book Market”
From the Federation of European Publishers:
Book publishing has been severely hit by the closing of bookshops as well as by books being considered as non-essential products in some countries. During and after the isolation period that hit most of the continent, the Federation of European Publishers collected information from its members – 29 national associations of publishers of books, learned journals and educational materials from all over Europe – regarding the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on book publishing.
